THE VERDICT
With the top manufacturers jostling for a view from the top of the Ultra HD pyramid, Sony has taken an express elevator and is racing fast for the checkered flag. But enough with the mixed metaphors. If this TV isn&amp;rsquo;t today&amp;rsquo;s best LCD UHD/HDR set (and perhaps the best of any type), it&amp;rsquo;s not for lack of trying. Sony has given us their best technology here, and it shows.
At the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2016, Sony demonstrated a prototype of a future LCD TV design incorporating what the company called Backlight Master Drive. We found it dazzling, as did most of the show-goers with whom we spoke. Nevertheless, we all looked at it as a &amp;ldquo;show car&amp;rdquo;&amp;mdash;something that might appear in a store near you in a couple of years, if ever.

THE VERDICT
Most current 4K sets deliver only the 4K slice of Ultra HD&amp;rsquo;s full pie. The RS65-B2 goes all the way, including 4K resolution, advanced color, and high dynamic range.
In a recent review of Vizio&amp;rsquo;s relatively affordable M65-C1 Ultra HDTV (soundandvision.com), I reflected on that company&amp;rsquo;s vision in having &amp;ldquo;sale prices low enough to attract millions of buyers.&amp;rdquo; But reality has a way of intruding on a dream, and a state-of-the-art Ultra HD set isn&amp;rsquo;t cheap to produce. With its new, two-model Reference Series (the 120-inch, RS120B3, which sells for $130,000, and the 65-incher under review here), the company now challenges the thin-aired peaks of cost-no-object sets previously dominated by older, more established brands. In fact, only selected dealers and some custom installers even carry the Reference Series.

And as we wind on down the road, we have now officially arrived at the home stretch of Led Zeppelin mastermind Jimmy Page&amp;rsquo;s master plan of reissuing all nine of the mighty Zep&amp;rsquo;s studio offerings in Super Deluxe Edition box set form. Not only has the studio wizard&amp;rsquo;s magic remastering wand gifted us with a plethora of bonus tracks&amp;mdash;mainly consisting of fascinating works-in-progress outtakes and alternate mixes, as opposed to troves of unreleased songs&amp;mdash;but Page has been adamant about going the full-on 96-kHz/24-bit route in order to &amp;ldquo;future-proof&amp;rdquo; the catalog for whatever audiophiliac upgrades are yet to come. (Knowing how audio formats tend to go, however, that song may not remain the same as time marches onward.)

Sharp&amp;rsquo;s 4K THX Certified UHDTV gets many things right but some key things wrong.
The only TV-tech buzzword with any legs to it in 2014 was 4K, aka Ultra HDTV. So a TV manufacturer without new 4K-resolution product had better start thinking about packing it in. Sharp previewed a pair of UD27 series Ultra HDTVs last June, and the company finally squeezed out those models just in time for the holiday shopping season. What do the new 60- and 70-inch Sharps have to recommend them over other, similarly priced offerings? Let&amp;rsquo;s check things out.

Panasonic&amp;rsquo;s 65-inch Ultra HDTV provides impressive performance and a huge array of Smart features.
Steep price declines have become the norm in the consumer electronics world, especially when it comes to TVs. Case in point: The last Ultra HDTV I reviewed, a Samsung 65-incher that arrived at the tail end of 2013, had an MSRP that was twice the $3,000 sticker price of Panasonic&amp;rsquo;s 65-inch TC-65AX800U Ultra HDTV. Now I hear that Vizio is selling sets with the same screen size and pixel count for $2,200. They might as well be giving them away.

THE VERDICT
Short of sitting very close, you&amp;rsquo;ll need a screen bigger than 55 inches to see the full benefits of 4K resolution. But the XBR-55X900B is, nevertheless, a champion in all respects, including one we didn&amp;rsquo;t anticipate: state-of-the-art edge-lit local dimming.
The XBR-55X900B is the smallest set in Sony&amp;rsquo;s X900B series, which also includes the 65-inch XBR-65X900B ($5,000) and the 79-inch XBR-79X900B ($9,000). Fifty-five inches is a relatively small size for achieving the maximum benefits of 4K resolution. But it&amp;rsquo;s also perhaps today&amp;rsquo;s most popular size for the principal home HDTV, so there&amp;rsquo;s no denying its market importance for Ultra HD as well.

Sound
&amp;ldquo;The best way to listen to Led Zeppelin is off of the analog tapes, but unfortunately, I can&amp;rsquo;t invite you around to listen to them.&amp;rdquo; That&amp;rsquo;s Jimmy Page, answering my question about whether vinyl is still the benchmark for experiencing Led Zeppelin music at a press conference following a listening event he hosted in New York City back in May. But now that Page has personally remastered all nine of Zep&amp;rsquo;s formidable studio albums in 96-kHz/24-bit, high-resolution digital audio appears to be the ideal format for hearing every detail and nuance put forth from the collective hammer of the gods.

THE VERDICT
A superbly performing&amp;mdash;and exceptionally inexpensive&amp;mdash;Ultra HDTV that looks great with today&amp;rsquo;s 1080p content.
Ultra HD is still meandering toward its Happy Place. Yes, it offers four times as many pixels as Full HD does at 1080p (&amp;ldquo;Full HD&amp;rdquo; being the industry&amp;rsquo;s new go-to term for &amp;ldquo;standard HD&amp;rdquo;). But source material at this native resolution is still hard to come by in any quantity. Most material viewed on an Ultra HD set, for the foreseeable future, will still be upconverted from Full HD, typically by the set, to &amp;ldquo;4K&amp;rdquo; (in quotes, because Ultra HD&amp;rsquo;s 3840 x 2160 resolution falls just short of true 4K resolution as defined in the cinema world). Can this provide a visible improvement over 1080p displayed on a 1080p set?

THE VERDICT
While it&rsquo;s not quite the deal you get with Vizio&rsquo;s lower-cost E series HDTVs, this M series set offers excellent performance at a very good price.
Vizio opted to take some bold steps for their 2014 lineup of LCD TVs. The first was to get rid of 3D&amp;mdash;no huge loss there, since most folks don&rsquo;t watch 3D outside of movie theaters anyway. The second was to add a full-array local-dimming backlight&amp;mdash;and not just to some of the new models, but to all of them. The entry-level 55-inch E series set that we reviewed in the July/August issue featured 12 dimmable zones. For the 60-inch M602i-B3 under scrutiny here, that number gets bumped up to 36. Do all those extra zones make the M602i-B3&rsquo;s black-level performance three times as good? Read on to find out.

THE VERDICT
It&amp;rsquo;s not without flaws, but the Vizio E550i-B2 offers more of what we like in a quality HDTV than we ever expected to see at such a low price.
You still can&amp;rsquo;t get a decent, major-brand 55-inch HDTV for under $500. You can, however, get one for under $800. The new 2014 E-Series may be Vizio&amp;rsquo;s budget line, but it&amp;rsquo;s not bare bones. It omits 3D (as do all of the company&amp;rsquo;s 2014 HDTVs, including the highest-end models), and there&amp;rsquo;s no picture-in-picture mode. But it offers the same bang for the buck that has, in the relatively few years since Vizio&amp;rsquo;s founding, rocketed the company to a U.S. market-share position that has left long-established HDTV makers gasping for breath trying to keep up.
